    Marea staged our home beautifully. She's creative, efficient, and adds value to the project. Friendliness, attention to detail, and honesty are hallmarks of her personality. We are so happy with her efforts which proved fruitful with just 1 open house showing. No doubt, we'll call her again as we need her services.

    Marea at Sold By Design is AMAZING! As a real estate agent, I have worked with several staging companies; she is the BEST I have ever worked with. Her skill in interior design is reflected in the sold price of the home. The colors, fabrics, wall art, and every detail made the home look amazing. Every buyer who came to our open house loved the home. Despite this market, the property was sold quickly above the listed price. She is my go-to stager for my real estate business! I wish she could be the interior designer of my own home too!

    WOW! What can I say about Marea and her team? My partner and I have over 6 years worth of experience in selling homes and we have yet to see staging that comes close to the work of Marea's. Marea has worked on over a dozen homes of ours, and every single time, my partner and I are in shock of how amazing her work is. Marea's attention to detail, promptness, fair pricing, and professionalism is extremely invaluable for a service where you typically feel like you're getting cheated/screwed over on. Every single penny we've spent on Marea's services has been worth it and we couldn't be happier with her work and the results she continues to give us. Last thing I would like to mention, Marea has an uncanny ability to work miracles on homes that have functional obsolescences. You can think a home has no chance of looking good or having a natural walk flow, but then she does her thing and the house looks like a model home. Long story short, there's great stagers, then there's Marea! If you're looking to step your game as a realtor and provide unbelievable results and services for your clients, do not hesitate to reach out to Marea. P.S. Marea, please don't blow up and forget about us you're such an instrumental part of our team's success. Attached below is one of our properties that we had before and after photos for. Sorry we don't have more before/after photos, we forget to take the "before" photos a lot‍

    I have been a Real Estate agent for 15 years in Orange County. Marea has been staging my real estate listings for over two years now and she is by far one of the best stagers I have ever used. She has an amazing eye for detail and never leaves a job until it's done. As we all know stagged homes sell for more, sell faster and present better online and in real life. If your looking to have your home stagged by a pro you should call Marea.

    Marea is not only a great agent but her eye for interior design is truly beyond compare. She staged two of our properties and the buyers fell in love with the space and atmosphere she created that our properties sold in less than two weeks. Marea is very easy and pleasant to work with and is very knowledgable, not only in staging, real estate, but she also has a keen eye for structural design. I will definitely be using her for all my staging and real estate needs in the future.

    1st Stage Property Transformation

    I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

    What an amazing experience we had with Janice and the entire team! Not only are they creative, hard…read moreworking, and professional, but they have the most beautiful and quality items! You can put your complete trust that they will stage your house to perfection so that it will look great for the photos and the tours!!

    After 40 years of joyful living, my parents decided to sell their home in Mission Viejo this…read moresummer. Unfortunately, when they were finally ready to put it on the market in September 2025, the housing market had cooled quite a bit, so we were worried the house would take a long time to sell or we would get less than my parents needed to fund their transition (at 86 and 88 yo) to assisted living. In short, we knew that choosing the right designer to stage the house would be critical. I come from a family of artists who have a keen sense of design, so to say I'm a picky customer when it comes to decor is an understatement. I reviewed dozens of staging portfolios before choosing AV Home Staging, and after working with Anna, I can confidently say I made the right choice. I was absolutely thrilled with Anna's beautiful work, responsive communication, and caring approach to helping us shine the best light possible on my parents' house. The best part: The house sold in 5 days for $75k over asking! And I have no doubt that Anna's artistry, attention to detail, and elegant design helped us secure several excellent offers ONE DAY after the open house, including two that were substantially over asking. Beyond that, Anna communicated with me regularly throughout the process and cared deeply about staging the house in a way that would honor the family that it had nurtured for so many years. She was also patient and understanding when I could not respond to her as quickly as I wanted to. I highly recommend AV Home Staging to anyone and everyone who is looking to maximize the value of a home they're selling. Anna is an incredible designer who takes tremendous care and pride in her work.

    Could not be happier with the staging at my spot. I truly believe because I took my agent's advice…read more(Larry Calemine) about using Ana's services, my condo got snatched in 6 days, full offer, because she did an absolutely beautiful job.
